Review by Horn Book Review

Expanding on the popular Who Was...? series, Krull does an admirable job of explaining the run-up to the Boston Tea Party, the events of that night, and its influence on the American Revolution. Sixteen interior pages of reproduced prints and photos from the Library of Congress do more to illuminate the tenor of the times than do Mortimer's stiff line drawings. Timeline. Bib.
